We bought a tractor! A 1977 Kubota B7100 to be specific. This tractor is a little BEAST and it's going to be putting in some hard hours for sure. In this video we go through all the basic fluids and get it ready for its first day of work
Hi, Very nice investment. I wish you well with your purchase. I have owned B7100-D for just under 40 years now. It is a solid tractor which I added an ARPS 70 Backhoe to it within a month of purchase. The backhoe was brand new and the Kubota was 4 years old when i purchased it. The suggestion I will make is for you to replace the rear axle hubs with the newer style of hubs ASAP. My rear wheels were always loose and wobbly. I replaced my hubs with the new style hub around 1992 and have not had an issue since with loose hubs. Google new style hubs for Kubota B7100. Good luck with your new tool. Dan😊 PS: All States Ag Parts has them on Amazon for $119 each. I'm running RimGuard loaded, Titan Trac Loader 12- 16.5 NHS, oversize R4 tires, plus the weight of the backhoe with no issues.
It's hard to think of a more versatile machine than a tractor with a loader and a 3pt hitch. If you're anything like me, you'll keep finding new projects and new attachments to keep the tractor working! A little advice: when you put the new tires on, put liquid ballast in the rear tires. Ballast weight is a must for small tractors for stability when you have a full bucket.
@threecreeksbackcountry awesome! The backhoe will be super handy! I would still recommend some liquid ballast in the tires though - that way you still have ballast weight even if you don't have the backhoe hooked up, and it helps keep the center of gravity a little bit lower too. Take it from a guy whose entire property is one big side-hill - you want all the stability in a tractor you can get!
Nice machine you got, I have B6000 with "japan spec" very deep thread tyres and I'm probably going to replace them. It's like driving on square wheels on hardpack ground... I see your new video, mean looking machine with those new tyres!
Hi I'm having a Kubota B5000, planning to DIY a front end loader, can you please show me the details of your loader in another video,regao the way of hydraulic connections from pump, controller, the loader mount and etc.. thank you very much
If the hydraulic pump is mounted on the back of the fuel pump you need to keep a check on your motor oil. If it starts rising the hyd pump is likely going bad.
From what I recall the loader Hydraulic pump is shaft driven off the front of the motor Crank Pulley. The system is completely isolated from any other Kubota systems.
